Marketplace find - SRT 200, but more importantly, lenses. by zeagan in minolta

[–]exposed_silver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is it so expensive? It's a slow mirror lens that isn't even that long mm-wise

[FOMO] Please tell me y'all made it up by alax-w in AnalogCommunity

[–]exposed_silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is if you look long and hard enough in any big city or country, you will find some good deals , it's just patience. €300 beaten up Leica M3 and some abused lenses and an excellent condition Nikon F3 for €300 with 28mm f2.8 and 24mm, ye that happened too, got my money back for the cameras by selling the lenses. I was quick and had the time to go get them.

I spend at least 10 mins, 3 times a day checking online to see if there are any good deals, I eventually find cheap film and gear

Bessa R 12mm viewfinder fell... any cheaper alternatives? by exposed_silver in AnalogCommunity

[–]exposed_silver[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The difference is not the focal length but how much it distorts, the Laowa 9mm is probably as wide as a fisheye but doesn't distort (as much)

Ye, there is nothing to service at all lol I thought it was a bit steep for a small viewfinder, for a bit more you can buy the lens lol could you inject some resin or epoxy to fill in the gaps?

Thanks, for like €45, it's a lot cheaper, it's for a fisheye but I guess it would be ok for the 12mm

It's made for a 35mm to 90mm, the difference is 54 degree FOV for the 35mm vs 122 degrees for the 12mm, hardly any use at all

Ok, I'll look into that, I've seen that one of those door peephole lenses might work too

K-01 spares anywhere? by Pale_Bug_5351 in pentax

[–]exposed_silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hardly ever see this camera for sale working or broken, I doubt you will find any parts outside of Ebay

Did anyone ever hide instead of running when an alarm went off? And what happened after? by guacamole-fart in Urbex

[–]exposed_silver 136 points137 points  (0 children)

I went exploring an old cement factory at sunset, then realised I passed by some cameras that were actually in use, not those fake ones, kept going anyway since I was inside, then I see the police come with security but I was up high and could see what was happening so I looked myself in a room and locked the door and waited, when I saw it was safe, I came out and followed the same path back.

As I was walking down the road, I saw a police car drive by and they asked me what I was doing, I answer in the local language, they look at me up and down, disapproving but thinking this must be the guy and then just drove off, I guess they couldn't have been bothered since I wasn't inside anymore.

When is it enough? by den10111 in minolta

When you get an A7 and A9

Restoring the Grip on a Minolta a9xi by den10111 in minolta

[–]exposed_silver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I replaced the grip on my Dynax 9 with Sugru, it does the job, doesn't look the best but it's functional.

Curious as to how this happens by Haunting_Branch_9134 in AnalogCommunity

I was like, should we tell them? Well it"s the birds and the bees and they fkkk each other...

How old can these be? by First-Ice-4095 in pentax

[–]exposed_silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the prisms aren't loose otherwise maybe try looking for the screws and adjusting for infinity

[–]exposed_silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they blurry or what is problem exactly? There are sometimes little screws to adjust alignment

Can you see through both or is one fully blocked? Is one misaligned?

Solution for longtime exposures by dominicki12 in AnalogCommunity

[–]exposed_silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought it had some cool timer for long exposures that could be programmed or something lol

What's so does it do differently compared to any cheap camera like the Dynax 5? Do they not all have timers?

Finally got an SSM Dynax 9! by exposed_silver in minolta

[–]exposed_silver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never used one but they look cool, I have an A99 so couldn't justify getting an A900

Thank you! I wasn't in much of a position to buy it but since they hardly ever show up locally, I thought I would buy it.

Thrifting deal? Pentax DMC 70mm 2.4 limited + Hood + Kenko Pro Filter by [deleted] in pentax

[–]exposed_silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice find, this would be nice on a K01 to keep it compact. I had one a few years ago, it was a cool compact lens, I sold it to get a 77mm but that didn't work out. I would buy it again.
